PDF of Vendor Presentations

Cultivating accounts that must have you! - For those vendors that have experiences accounts that purchase from you because you had the lower price as well as accounts that were loyal to you based upon the service provided to them. If you want more accounts to leave the former group and join the later group, this is a topic you want to hear.

 

Why fly paper works! Attracting buyers to your tradeshow exhibit! - You know that your space at a trade show costs a lot of money. Add to that the expense of travel, hotel, and meals and you have spent a lot of money. If you do not think you are getting the results from your trade show exhibit that you should get, this is a presentation that needs to be heard.

Lessons from a Postman - How to deliver as a vendor - "What is your price on ...?" If that is the questions your sales staff is hearing far too often from your accounts, then we need to look at what is missing from the formula of what your business is trying to deliver. It appears what you are trying to deliver is not what your account is needing or wanting.

Presentations based upon Tom Shay's book "How to become the Preferred Vendor - 251 Strategies for doing more business with retailers!

Top Story

Continually, I am baffled by small businesses that fail to ask for customers for their business. The example for October is service businesses that deal with their customers on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual business.

 

I don't understand why they tell customers to call when they are ready for the next service.

Article of the Month

It is just a tool. We are talking about money. The October article tells the story of several small businesses that make a big difference in their community. These are heart warming stories of making money and using that money in some unique ways.


Book of the Month

How about an uplifting book to start the last quarter of the year? Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert can give you that boost in both your personal life and in your business.

All this plus the Internet Tool for Your Business and a staff incentive idea for your business.
